Schedule, syllabus and examination date

Course content

Analysis methods for response of systems with a single degree of
freedom when subjected to harmonic, impact and general loading.
Partial differential equations for time-dependent, continuum
mechanics systems. Energy methods, e.g., Rayleigh-Ritz method and the finite
element method, for predicting the dynamic behaviour of
systems with multi degrees of freedom. Numerical integration
of time-dependent problems.

Learning outcome

To provide a theoretical base for analysis and evaluation of structures subjected to dynamic loading.

Admission

Students who are admitted to study programmes at UiO must each semester register which courses and exams they wish to sign up for in Studentweb.
